My son has red cheeks and they seem a little rough. I'm wondering what you can do about this if anything at all.
Thank you.

Sarah gets windburn on her cheeks so easily. I use Aquaphor on her cheeks after her bath and at diaper changes (if I remember  ) Chris p.s. I do mean the cheeks on her face.  |

LOL Chris!!
Andrew's cheeks get really dry too. I also use Aquaphor, and sometimes just plain Vaseline. His skin seems ALOT dryer in the winter months, probably a combo of the colder air and having the heat on. Good luck!

Aquphor is good or if you can't find that Aveeno works well too.

Our little guy gets red cheeks easily too. They have gotten much better now that he has had his tear ducts probed and doesn't have the watery eyes so much. The tears in the winter use to really dry out his skin!
We use the Aveeno lotion.

We use Bag Balm... for TONS of things.. can't live without it... it is JUST like Aquaphor.. same ingredients I do believe... petrolium jelly and lanolin. Pet jelly is good but having the lanolin helps... kind like you need the lanolin when nursing That is originally what Bag Balm was for.. cows teets ;D Russell's cheeks are a MESS right now!!!! It went from really hot and dry to WINTER in about a day here in ST Louis... just recently 2 weeks ago... and he got a runny nose/slight cold thing.. and his cheeks flared up so bad. And sucking his finger and it getting wet and dried out didn't help. We had to postpone our Christmas pics.... and the new date is coming up this weekend.. we have tried to keep bag balm on his cheeks so much but it looks like our Christmas pics will be with red, chapped cheeked Russell Man LMAO. I told Kevin I was going to put make up on him so I couldn't see it heehee. But seeing it's Dec tomorrow.. I can't postpone the pics any longer. A. |

Thanks for this info. Brandon always has red cheeks in the winter... Even if he is only outside for a short period of time.
I tried the aquaphor and it seems to work much better than plain vaseline.
